<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPCommandsFind"></A>"Find files" command<hr></P>


<P>This command is accessible both in <A HREF="HELPShellModes.htm">
file management</A> and in <A HREF="HELPShellModes.htm">archive management</A>
modes. Using "Find files" dialog it is possible to search for files
contained the specified string either in the opened archive or in selected
folders or disks. Dialog items are described below.</P>

<h1><I>File names to find</I></h1>

<P>By default it contains "*", what means to check all files. You
may enter other file mask here, for example, "*.txt" to search only
in .txt files. It is allowed to enter several file masks separated
by spaces. If you need to specify a file name containing spaces, enclose
it in quotes.</P>

<h1><I>String to find</I></h1>

<P>Here you may enter a string to find. If you leave this field blank,
WinRAR will display all files matching other specified criteria.</P>


<h1><I>Match case</I></h1>

<P>Enables case sensitive string comparison.</P>

<h1><I>Use all tables</I></h1>

<P>Use ANSI, Unicode UTF-8, Unicode UTF-16 and OEM (MS DOS) character tables
when searching for string. If this option is off, WinRAR uses only the default
Windows character table (ANSI) in the search operation.</P>

<h1><I>Hexadecimal search</I></h1>

<P>Treat the entered string as sequence of hexadecimal values separated
by spaces.</P>

<h1><I>Search area</I></h1>

<P>This option is restricted to currently opened archive if searching inside
of archive. Outside of archive use "Current folder" to search in the current
folder only, "Selected items" to search in folders and files selected
in WinRAR file list. Select appropriate drive names to search on these
drives.</P>

<h1><I>Archive types</I></h1>

<P>Archive types to search in. By default it contains "*", what means
"all archive formats", but, for example, you may enter "*.rar" to search
data only in rar archives. It is allowed to enter several archive masks
separated by spaces.</P>

<h1><I>"Find in subfolders" option</I></h1>

<P>Forces WinRAR to search not only in the specified folder, but also
in its subfolders. Valid for "Current folder" search area only.</P>

<h1><I>"Find in files" option</I></h1>

<P>If enabled, WinRAR will search in usual not archived files matching
the specified file name.</P>

<h1><I>"Find in archives" option</I></h1>

<P>Enables to search in the archived files. You may set both <I>"Find
in files"</I> and <I>"Find in archives"</I> to search a desired string
both in archives and in usual files.</P>

<h1><I>"Skip encrypted" option</I></h1>

<P>If password is required to search inside of encrypted archive,
such archive is skipped silently.</P>

<h1><I>"Save"</I> button</h1>

<P>This button saves a part of options in this dialog, so they will be
automatically restored when activated next time. Some options might be
not saved and instead initialized to values more suitable for current search.</P>
